eslint-plugin-json-light

library1.0.3jsnpmunverified

ESLint plugin for validating JSON files. Version 1.0.3 (last updated in 2016, no releases since). Lightweight alternative to eslint-plugin-json, which required downloading PhantomJS (~22MB). This plugin has zero dependencies and simply parses JSON files to report syntax errors. Key differentiator is its minimal footprint, but it lacks features like auto-fix or extended syntax checks. Suitable for basic JSON linting in ESLint workflows.

Debug

Known issues

gotchaThis plugin only validates JSON syntax; it does not provide any rules (like 'no-trailing-comma'). It only reports parse errors.

fix

If you need JSON rules, consider eslint-plugin-json or write custom rules.

affects: >=1.0.0

deprecatedLast release was in 2016. Consider using modern alternatives like eslint-plugin-jsonc or eslint-plugin-json-format.

fix

Migrate to eslint-plugin-jsonc (supports comments) or other actively maintained plugins.

affects: >=1.0.0

gotchaPlugin is installed as 'eslint-plugin-json-light' but used in plugins array as 'json-light' (drop the prefix).

fix

Add 'json-light' to plugins, not 'eslint-plugin-json-light'.

affects: >=1.0.0

Errors

Plugin not installed or not in package.json dependencies.

fix

Run: npm install eslint-plugin-json-light --save-dev

Parsing error: Unexpected token }
